To get an idea for which regions of the world are currently threatened by genocide, check out the United States Holocaust Museum's "Who's at Risk?" page. After reading through the breif on each of the countries, discuss whether countries like the US should get involved in interventions related to these countries. Also, head on over to my blog and vote in the poll that is related to this question.

Governments and other political parties have been attack civilians all throughout history and is still happening today. I believe the United States should get involved in these conflicts because the United States is a world power and should be helping other countries. Examples of the United States helping would be World War I and World War II. If countries like the United States did not get involved in these conflicts the genocide would continue to get worse and elevate. Many problems related to the economy of these countries would occur which would eventually effect the world. Genocide is the mass extinction of a race or religion. Which is very bad but happens all over the world and we must fight to stop it. It is not right. I know that the United States is geographically on the other side of the globe, but other countries such as Great Britain and Russia could also get involved as are closer to the rest of the world. The United States and other countries should get involved because its unfair on the people who live in the countries and the people that the genocide is effecting. They need to be helped because they can't fight for themselves against a country.
